The four of you are now walking through the lobby of a music production studio.

As you follow behind the mysterious SUGA, you look around the lobby to see a few pictures up of the artists that this company has. On each portrait is their name.

SUGA is there, along with someone named P Dogg, and a bunch of other people that you didn't bother remembering the names for.

You take a deep breath as the four of you enter the elevator together.

As you're standing there, it's awkward as Jonghoon looks around the elevator. You look at Jieun and SUGA. Jieun gives him a friendly smile and he gives her an awkward grin before glancing over at you. You two lock eyes for a few seconds and he glides his tongue along his lower lip while maintaining eye contact with you. You furrow your eyebrows for a second, confused as he stares at you. He then breaks eye contact with you and clears his throat for a second.

"So, Jieun, you're really sure you want me to write a part in the song too?" He suddenly questions as he looks over at her. She smiles widely and nods her head.

"I've heard the work you've made on your songs, SUGA. A lot of them are so meaningful and profound. I really need something like that in my songs." She responds, causing SUGA to grin.

"That's very kind of you, thank you." He states before the elevator dings and it's time to get out. He leads the way through another hallway. The three of you trail behind him as he walks before he stops directly in front of a door. "This is my studio, I call it the Genius Lab."

Jieun raises her eyebrows and smiles widely. Her brother merely nods his head. You press your lips together and hold in some laughter due to how arrogant he sounds by calling himself a genius.

Granted, you've never heard any of his music so he very well could be one. However, you have a feeling his music probably isn't good enough to be labeled as 'genius.'

"Wow! That's so cool. I just record in my closet." Jieun blurts out before covering her face for a second. "Wait, probably shouldn't have said that. It's a little embarrassing to admit I don't have a proper recording room." SUGA laughs as she says this.

"There's nothing wrong with not having a recording room. It took a while for me to get here." He says while scratching the back of his neck. He then reaches into his pocket and unlocks the door, opening it and stepping to the side to allow all of you to go in first.

As you all step in, you take a moment to look around and notice the little things around his studio.

Jieun is immediately drawn to the recording equipment with her brother trailing closely behind as you all are now in a room that he could easily lock you in.

You are drawn to the more personal things around his room.

He has a '93 sports jersey hanging from the back of his chair, a bunch of small figurines spread out on top of some of the speakers, and the corners of the room are lined with a bright purple light that makes the room look fancier.

"1993?" you question without thinking as you stare over at the jersey.

"Yeah, the year I was born." His deep voice sounds far closer than you thought it would be and you turn to face him only to see that he's directly behind you. You nod your head slowly.

"It's cool." You say while nodding your head before looking around at the rest of the room.

"Your voice sounds familiar." He suddenly says, causing you to raise your eyebrows for a second. You then tilt your head to the side as you start thinking about where he could've heard your voice before.

"Uh... well, I'm not sure where you've heard it from." You bluntly say before shrugging your shoulders. "Maybe you heard me in the background one time when you were on the phone with Jieun?" you suggest. He stares blankly over at you before slowly nodding his head after about a minute of blankly staring at you.

"Yeah... that's probably what it is." He states before he starts walking towards where Jieun and Jonghoon are. "Speaking of, Jieun, do you want to try recording over the beat I created?"  he questions while looking over at her. Her eyes light up as she eagerly nods her head before looking around the room once more.

"Yes! Where should I go?" she questions. He smiles softly before stepping away from you and making his way towards her. He shows her where the microphone is and where she can go to record.

As you watch him walking away, you furrow your eyebrows as you stare at his back.

Why is he talking to you like he knows you or something? You've never met this man once in your life, that you're certain of.

If you had, he's an attractive man, and you know damn well you would've remembered that handsome face of his.

He leads her to a door which leads into a recording room. As the two are in there and he shows her how to use the microphone and everything, you see Jonghoon walking up to you.

"Is it just me or is he a little weird?" Jonghoon questions right away once they close the door. You two eye them  before you furrow your eyebrows.

"Okay, so it's not just me noticing it?" you question. He shakes his head immediately.

"Nah, I noticed how he was looking at you, he's been doing it since you introduced yourself." He states. You eye SUGA once more before shaking your head to yourself.

"Yeah, it's definitely weird the way he's eyeing me." You state while biting onto your lower lip.

"You think he's into you or something?" he questions. You nod your head and let out a soft laugh.

"It's kind of hard to even try denying that." You say. He laughs along with you before shaking his head and running his hand through his hair.

"You into him too?" he questions. You shrug your shoulder before pressing your lips together as you think about it. He nods his head. "Not sure yet?"

"Yeah... I don't get crushes that easily. He's cute, definitely, but it takes a bit for me to get to that point." You say before sighing softly.

"Well, all you have to do to get to know him more is go with Jieun to more of these recordings." He suggests while gently nudging you. You smile and roll your eyes before crossing your arms over your chest.

You now hear Jieun starting to sing into the microphone through the room that's slightly soundproof but not fully soundproof.

The two of you turn your attention to the booth and see SUGA stepping out of the booth and closing the door behind him. He then looks up at you two and gives you both an awkward smile before making his way to his desk. He sits down and presses a button to talk to Jieun as she's in the room.

"Alright, so I'll give you a thumbs up when the music is going to start playing. When you hear it in the headphones, you can start practicing and we can see how it sounds after a few lines." He states. You watch as Jieun gives a thumbs up and smile softly as she gives you and Jonghoon an excited smile through the booth. You two both give her a smile of encouragement.

He gives the signal and the music starts playing. She starts singing along and SUGA nods his head along as he hears the song.

You stare over at him as he nods his head along, staring down at his laptop as he focuses.

"She sounds really good, huh?" Jonghoon suddenly questions, causing you to look over at him, causing you to snap out of your trance before nodding your head.

"Huh? Yeah, she sounds great." You say before grinning up at him. He looks over at you before eyeing SUGA, letting out a soft laugh as he rolls his eyes.

"Ah, don't get crushes easily my ass." He teases while gently pushing you. You immediately shake your head before looking up at him.

"I'm not into him, just genuinely confused as to why he's been looking at me weird." You say while shaking your head as you cross your arms over your chest. "I'm trying to pinpoint if I've met him somewhere before or something... there's no other reason why he'd be doing creepy shit like that, right?" You question. This causes him to hold his hands up, showing that he doesn't want to be involved.

"Beats me," he says before looking over at the man once more. "He could just be creepy like that... maybe he's a serial killer." He jokes. This causes you to raise your eyebrows and widen your eyes.

"You do realize you're saying that about a man that's working with your sister, right?" you question while looking up at him. "If he really were to be one, you'd feel really fucking bad if something happened to her." You state.

He slowly widens his eyes before quickly shaking his head.

"No, he's not, I'm just teasing." He immediately states, slightly reassuring you but mostly reassuring himself with this statement. You let out a soft laugh before shaking your head.

"Hey." You two hear, causing you both to look up.

When you do, you see SUGA staring over at you.

"Oops, sorry, were we being too loud?" Jonghoon questions. You blush immediately, growing embarrassed at the thought of him hearing about you two joking about him being a serial killer.

"No, just want your thoughts. Come here." He says, voice growing slightly deeper as he requests this.

You can't help but feel a slight tingle in the lower pit of your stomach as you hear his deep voice.

Something about it makes you want to listen to him and follow everything he says just to potentially hear him praise you with that deep voice of his.

You nod your head and immediately make your way towards him as Jonghoon, confused, doesn't follow behind until a few seconds later.

As you walk over, SUGA slightly smirks to himself momentarily before turning his chair back around to face his laptop.
